| Current secondary outcome measures as of 08/06/2023: 1. HAPA constructs measured using ad-hoc self-reports based on previously published measures (Gholami & Schwarzer, 2014) at baseline, postintervention and follow-ups 2. Menopause-related quality of life measured using the generic 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) and the specific validated Cervantes Scale at baseline, post-intervention and follow-ups 3. Fitness and cardio-respiratory and metabolic health measured using structural (e.g., BMI) and functional (e.g., EUROFIT) indicators at baseline, postintervention and follow-ups 4. Self-reported health status (EQ-SD, Rabin & Charro, 2001) and health-related lifestyle (Pérez-Fortis et al., 2012) at baseline, postintervention and follow-ups 5. Sociodemographic and clinical data measured using a personal data form and medical anamnesis at baseline Previous secondary outcome measures: 1.
